mac_address parameter

There are two options for the mac_address parameter:

If a MAC address is not specified, when the simulator
is run it takes the default MAC address and changes its bottom two
bytes from 00:02 to the bottom two bytes of the
MAC address of one of the adaptors on the host PC. This provides
some degree of MAC address uniqueness when running models on multiple
hosts on a local network.

If you specify the MAC address as auto, this generates
a completely random local MAC address each time the simulator is
run. The address has bit 1 set and bit 0 clear in the first byte
to indicate a locally-administered unicast MAC address.

Note

DHCP servers are used to allocate IP addresses, but because
they sometimes do this based on the MAC address provided to them,
then using random MAC addresses might interact with some DHCP servers.
